BASIC STATEMENTS AND HEALTH TREATMENT OF TRUTH 



PREFACE 

The arrangement of this consecutive course of condensed les- 
sons, under the heading of Basic Statements and Treat- 
ment, is designed to be a simple, practical method which, when 
understood and practiced will enable students to realize whole- 
ness for themselves, and for others. Wholeness is comprised of 
pure Being, perfect thought and result. It is the all of Life, Love, 
Truth, Intelligence, Substance, Power, and Presence for which 
we are seeking. It means Health, Satisfaction and Success.

HEALTH TREATMENT 



HEALING BY THE CHRIST METHOD 

THE basis for the manifestation of power in the Christ 
Method of Healing is knowledge of at-one-ment of 
man and God. "I and my Father are one'' means one and 
the same in nature, possibility, and power ; not two Beings, 
Spirits or Minds. The Creator of an ever-present living 
creation must necessarily be infinite and limitless from 
eternity to eternity ; hence, there can be neither finite being 
nor limitation. 

Most people believe creation to be an event of the past, 
and that creative action ceased with the accomplishment 
of that event. Where this is believed, it is claimed that 
creation belongs to time and place. This claim cannot be 
true, for all that live, live within and unto God, and are, 
therefore, living within the omnipresent Creator through- 



12 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

out eternity ; and must be, begin, end and be complete in 
God now. If Being and the beginning of its ex- 
pression were not eternal, existence would have no rela- 
tionship with God at this time. "The way, the truth and 
the life," must be the origin of all living things ; hence, 
all things must in the end find their abiding place in Being 
where they have origin, which makes them eternal. As 
"I Am" is the Word which is the light of the world, and 
of every man that comes into the world, everything lives 
within Me and is illumined with My glory, even as the 
burning bush was to Moses, aflame with the light of My 
Holy presence. 

Not until we conceive that all things are now alive unto 
God's eternity and wholeness, and not unto time, shall we 
"witness the beginning of creation." When we cease 
thinking, speaking and acting, as if the body, or anything 
pertaining to it, belongs unto time, and is dependent on 
place, we shall have ceased talking about death, and plan- 
ning for the grave. A full understanding of Divine Sci- 
ence, the living truth of what we are, is a Knowledge of 
God in creation, that creation is God expressed. 



HEALING 

There are various ways by which the attention of people 
may be arrested and called to the Christ Method of Heal- 
ing. Some are interested through hearing of the healing 
of others and are thus caused to give it consideration. 
Wanting healing, as they do, either for themselves or 



CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 13 

friends, they are induced to try this method, and as it re- 
sults in the health and satisfaction for which they have 
long sought, they in turn are ready to interest others. 

They who say, "If one can be healed, another can, 
hence, healing is for me," speak wisely. They virtually 
declare the vital truth for themselves — that "There is no 
respect of persons with God." This decision is good, it 
comprehends much, it is a receptive attitude which is ready 
for successful results. Again, others are advised by 
friends to try the Christ Method, and as they have done 
all they knew to do — having exhausted every method that 
has been presented for the salvation of man — they accept 
the advice, and resolve to try the Truth, which to know 
makes them free, and are made whole. 

The ways by which people are led to investigate Divine 
Science and practice it may vary ; but what all are seeking 
to know is, when and how to begin. Nozu is always the 
accepted time, the only time to begin. The moment you 
want to be healed is the right time to commence the work. 
It is understood by all that there can be no result without 
a cause, and cause can bring forth no result without action, 
so now is the time to act and produce results. No one can 
enjoy health as a result of treatment until the treatment is 
commenced. Hence, the beginning must necessarily pre- 
cede the result. There is something for each one to do 
who wants healing, though the nature of the work to be 
done may differ from all previous attempts made to regain 
health. Much has been said in the class-room, written and 
published, explanatory of methods by which healing is 



14 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

done, which are considered helpful in their nature ; but in 
the Christ Method, a knowledge of Being that which is 
whole, is the one thing necessary as a basic Principle for 
demonstration. 

How can we heal others, see them w r hole, when there is 
a beam in our own eye? The supposition that there is 
something in our nature that is the opposite of God will see 
motes and blemishes in others ; for that which sees and 
describes false belief as real, is itself false belief. Knowl- 
edge never believes error to be truth. When a child under- 
stands the principle by which to solve his problem, he 
neither believes that error is truth, nor that a mistake 
stands for calculation. 

The responsibility as to the result of treatment does not 
rest exclusively with the person employed in giving treat- 
ment. Christ, in the patient, who is "The Way, the 
Truth and the Life," compels no. personified false beliefs to 
accept Him, and think and believe that they are whole. 
God creates all things, but does not create opinions con- 
cerning them. It is a matter of choice, called free will, 
whether we pronounce with God or otherwise. "Choose 
ye this day whom ye will serve," whether it be the Truth 
that the infinite whole is God, and is perfect, or whether 
it be the false supposition that there is something else, that 
is imperfect. Those wanting to be healed should do their 
part and be willing to recognize and receive unto them- 
selves the Truth that they are whole. The record of Life, 
the truth of Being, says that we have eternal life with God. 
This being true, we must necessarily have eternal health in 
God, and be satisfied and happy. 



CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 15 

The teaching of Jesus stands above all teachings pre- 
ceding it, in that He taught that knowledge of the Truth, 
applied, heals, or puts an end to sickness ; for there can be 
no sickness in God or Good, hence can be none in Truth. 
His practice proved the truth of His preaching, for He not 
only healed the sick when called upon to do so, but his 
command to the disciples was to go forth into all the world, 
and preach the gospel unto every creature, and heal the 
sick. It is not sufficient to enable us to demonstrate whole- 
ness that we think the truth for a portion of creation, for 
Truth must erase the false belief of the world's apostasy 
from God; and thus proceed forth with the Holy Spirit 
into all the w r orld, even unto the ends of the earth. 

"Go show yourselves to the Priests," Jesus said unto 
the ten lepers who called upon him to have mercy on them. 
The appeal was made as he approached, which, spiritually 
speaking, made the conjunction or at-one-ment in thought, 
between them ; they went their way, which was according 
to his direction or commandment ; hence, the result was 
they realized that they were whole, and were clean. 

The first requirement in this method of healing is that 
of giving up the false supposition and unsatisfying belief 
of a self-hood separate from God. This change of con- 
ception is the spiritual act of baptizing unto repentance, 
which precedes the taking on of at-one-ment — the baptism 
of the Holy Spirit. At-one-ment is the yoke that is easy, — / / 
the bond of union which makes every burden light. 

Where two are agreed upon earth as touching any one 
thing there is at-one-ment, and / am is in the midst of 



16 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

them with perfect demonstration. What is agreed upon 
shall be granted unto them. No line is to be drawn be- 
tween the one employed in giving treatment and the one 
receiving it. The two should agree, and thus be one in 
the Truth, of which they seek demonstration. If it be 
health, the freedom and harmony of Truth, that is sought 
to be realized, the first thing to do is to agree that health is, 
and is for you; and if for you, it is present; what is not 
present cannot be realized, enjoyed, or demonstrated. In 
this you have the whole plan of success. You have now 
determined to shape your thought, word, and deed, accord- 
ing to the Truth of what is, and is for you, and is at hand. 
So, there is no postponement, neither is there seeking for 
something to come from afar ; what you ask for is come ; 
is yours now. 

"No" should never be taken for an answer, and in order 
to prove that "No" is not an accepted answer you are to 
cease making negative claims and doing that which is 
contrary to Truth. God accepts no excuses, even as the 
principle in mathematics admits no excuses in the solution 
of a problem, but demands that the principle be adhered 
to if demonstrated in the example. Make your claims ac- 
cording to Truth. Claim to be Truth, and your words will 
be words of Life — the pure, white "Yes" of God. Let man, 
created in Christ Jesus, in righteousness and holiness of 
Truth, use the pronoun / as meaning the unlimited nature 
of the All Good. The Canaanitish woman was so deter- 
mined to have her daughter healed that she refusel to rec- 
ognize any obstacle to that result. All should be thus deter- 



CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 17 

mined who ask for healing, and the result following- will be 
the same as it was with her. 

As the word that is. with God, and is God, made the 
world, and is its light and life, one should stop discussing 
the question as to whether it is God's will that we be 
whole, — made to enjoy health. The will of an all-powerful 
God to make whole must of necessity be one and the same 
at all times. God must be without variation or shadow of 
turning. His will must be for the absolute perfection and 
goodness of each one in every respect. The habit of setting 
up obstacles, claiming difficulties, and making excuses 
should be given up. The infinite All, when accepted as 
being all Good, God, proves to be health, success and har- 
mony without limit. After having heard the Truth, noth- 
ing but a willingness to continue in old lines of belief and 
tradition can hinder any one from having a realization of 
wholeness. Since it is God's will that all should feel well, 
and right habit of thought based in Being will bring this 
about, there is no reason why all should not enjoy health 
in the knowledge of Truth. It is an easy matter to reject 
the belief that there are difficulties to be overcome, obstacles 
in the way, excuses to be made, and to accept the whole 
Truth, and to know and enjoy freedom. Begin your work 
at once by saying, What has been done, I can do. I can 
realize myself to be whole. There is nothing in me, or of 
me that is not harmonious. Speak these words in faith 
and persist in acting in line with them ; actions speak 
louder than words sometimes.

18 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

BE SINCERE IN YOUR EFFORTS 

If you have sought in many ways and spent a fortune 
in your search for health, and have failed to find it, do not 
hesitate to try the Divine Science method, it will heal you. 
Your past experience has embraced methods of treatment 
based in the erroneous claim of physical causation, accom- 
panied with hope of getting well, which at best, can only 
change one condition of belief for another. These changes 
have been brought about by going from one locality to 
another, change of scenery, or perhaps by a few little 
pellets ; being made in belief only, and as to condition, 
these changes do not touch the plane of eternal Life, or 
Being ; hence, do not touch our unchanging health. "God 
is the health of his people/' The Christ or Divine Science 
method of healing proves that wholeness is to be enjoyed 
in Truth and nowhere else. It demonstrates that health 
is eternal ; that success is ever at hand. Your past ex- 
perience has been based in a mere hope of getting well. 
Now, try the only true method of knowledge and faith — 
that of being well. "Be ye perfect, even as your Father 
in heaven is perfect." Perfect being must necessarily pre- 
cede perfect thinking ; perfect thinking must precede per- 
fect results either in words, deeds, or sensations. This is 
infallible law. Truth frees by proving that you are not 
bound. 

If physicians have said that your case is incurable, if 
they have exhausted their skill upon you, and said there 
is no help for you, remember, their skill consists in ad- 



CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 19 

ministering' external remedies and in performing opera- 
tions. "In vain shalt thou use many medicines, for thou 
shalt not be cured." Their skill is not that of bearing 
fruit of the Spirit of Truth, and creating anew, which is 
the only true demonstration of health there is. Healing is , 
producing results direct from Spirit, or Principle. Give no 
place to what your friends have said about your case. 
Let your determination to succeed be a matter wholly be- 
tween you and God. God never pronounces against any 
one, and does not say that your case is incurable or hope- 
less. He has no method but the one of perfection. He 
says : "Be whole, because I am whole" ; "Thy faith hath 
made thee whole" ; "Thou art loosed from infirmities." 
rt My freedom is thine." 

Age is not an obstacle in the way of either knowing or 
demonstrating the freedom of Truth. Why limit the body 
by time, and the claim of age? It is eternal in idea and 
substance. The notion that mental faculties must fail 
with increasing years is a false one, and is as unreliable 
as is the belief that mental faculties are born of the brain, 
and that mind or spirit is evolved from the body. The 
truth is that mental faculties, the brain, and entire body 
are the manifestations of Mind or Spirit, and Mind can 
never fail. /Hence, you are always just old enough to be 
well, and to think right, and to know and remember all 
there is in Truth. Now is just the right time to prove 
that you have health, are happy and satisfied. Xow r is the 
time to bring eternal Life and immortality to light, and 
bear witness of the truth of what vou are. , 



20 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

Because you have spent large sums of money trying to 
get well; do not hold that as an objection against trying 
this method. When it is once settled in your conscious- 
ness that you want and can realize freedom and whole- 
ness, the only question that should arise is : Do I want to 
realize it more than "anything else; how 7 much do I want 
health ; what am I willing to do for it ? Be not divided 
in your thought between money and what may be accom- 
plished. Let neither money, time, nor anything, be as an 
obstacle in your way. Your determination will not falter 
if your purpose is one and undivided. Say, my birthright 
is health, wholeness and satisfaction, and think and act 
accordingly; do not barter it for any number of excuses. 
If necessary, give up all former habits of belief, speaking 
and acting, and conform all to the Principle of Truth. 

Jesus never denies that he is the Truth — the at-one- 
ment of God and man ; but says, in the hour of seeming 
need : "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I 
into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." 
Each one should say : I am here to bear witness of the 
truth as much in the hour of seeming need as at any other 
time, and this is my time. To this end was I born. My 
existence bears witness of truth and life. I need no medi- 
cine. I cannot serve God and Mammon. The taking of 
medicine will not prove that I am eternal Life and Truth, 
or free from the liability of disease. I therefore declare 
I am health and wholeness. I and my Father are one, and 
not two ; hence, I am complete in Him, and find nothing in 
my existence to remedy. The I Am is sufficient unto all 
things needful. 



CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 21 

As you have proven that all the claims made for ex- 
ternal remedies are powerless to give the unchanging 
health and satisfaction for which you have sought, begin 
your work on the plane of Being, by being in God, and 
you will find what you have sought. If you have had no 
opportunity of studying Divine Science in a class, or have 
found no one to give you private instruction, who under- 
stands the Truth, then be as faithful to Truth contained in 
this little book as you have been in obeying the doctor's 
directions. Put yourself entirely in the hands of Truth, 
and do as it directs. Argue not within yourself or with 
another about Divine Science. 

Do not talk as if you were personally too good, or your 
opinions too true, to have brought about the diseased con- 
ditions from which you are seeking freedom, but that God 
was not too good to have brought them upon you, and 
that they must, therefore, be endured. Let the Christ 
knowledge speak in you in all things. Declare that nothing 
I have believed in the past can prevent the true idea of God 
from being demonstrated in me. Do not criticise this 
new and living method, Divine Science, nor condemn the 
statements made in this book ; for surely, if you ask, and 
ask not amiss, it will be necessary that you assume, men- 
tally, the attitude of one receiving. See, therefore, that 
you are willing to receive, by gladly acknowledging that 
you do possess what you have asked for. The truth herein 
recorded will be your teacher and healer, and will give you 
the necessary instruction to bring forth your conscious un- 
derstanding of Truth. 



22 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

Expect no one to devote their time to you without mak- 
ing some return for it. The law of giving is also the law 
of receiving ; the entire business of the world is transacted 
through this law of exchange. Giving opens the channels 
for receiving. It is both spiritually and literally true from 
the individual standpoint that they who give, receive, and 
they who receive, give. Equal exchange, in the business 
world, is justice. The great desire, under general cultiva- 
tion in the world, is that of getting, and giving as little as 
possible in return. This desire prevents many from realiz- 
ing their divine opulence, for it is just the opposite of the 
Law of wholeness and success, which is, to render full 
measure for that which is given. There is no real freedom 
in this desire, nor is there any real possession in the desire 
to get something without rendering a just equivalent. As 
"the laborer is worthy of his hire/' one might as justly 
demand another's money for nothing as to demand that 
one should give his time and labor for nothing. To render 
a just equivalent for all things, in our dealings w r ith each 
other, is honorable, righteous and helpful. No teacher or 
healer ever thinks of charging for the Truth ; hence, the 
charge is for the time spent in behalf of the students' and 
patients' welfare. 

If healing is not instantly or quickly realized, be reason- 
able, sincere and willing to persevere. Do not say : I have 
given it a fair trial with a few treatments ; but say to 
yourself : I am willing to believe that health is ; hence, I 
am willing to say that I do not believe that I have any 
disease. Be as faithful in claiming that you have health, 



CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 23 

and that you are in a state of perfect harmony, as false 
belief has been in claiming to be diseased and inharmoni- 
ous. Be as willing to persevere with Truth as yon have 
been to take medicine and experiment with external reme- 
dies ; and you will soon prove that Divine Science is all 
you need to bring out the full realization that God is your 
sufficiency. The instant your thought and belief is at-one 
with the idea of God, you will realize freedom. Do not 
postpone being well. Do not postpone for to-morrow what 
ought to be done to-day. The belief that you will receive 
by and by, keeps putting off, and prevents you from realiz- 
ing in the sweet, happy now. You cannot speak the truth 
of Infinite Spirit without saying : I am well now ; I am free 
now ; I am health now ; I am satisfied now ; I succeed now. 
You cannot say : I hope for these things some time, and 
speak the word of God as he speaks it. Thus it is clear that 
the Christ Alethod is the demonstration of Principle. This 
is Life's 'new and living way." Speak as God would 
speak, and your words will be living words, and your feel- 
ings, environments and success, will be shaped accordingly. 
Then will you be glad that you were told to say these 
things. The Infinite's idea is kept before you in this 
method. "Hold fast the form of sound words." 

Avoid thinking, talking, or reading of sickness, or of 
any kind of trouble. Do not describe symptoms or sensa- 
tions to any one. If friends or members of your own family 
ask after your feelings and symptoms, and you describe 
them, it prevents you from yielding thoroughly to the 
treatments ; for when these conditions are talked about, 



24 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 

they are still given form in memory ; hence, they have not 
been given up. You can do much for yourself by avoiding" 
everything that tends to keep in memory the condition 
from which you wish to be free. To prove the Christ 
Method, you are to be courageous, determined, and faith- 
ful, and think and act the truth that you have being in God 
now. Study Divine Science thoroughly, get an under- 
standing of its law, and you will realize freedom and be 
able to liberate others from false claims and conditions. Do 
not attempt to mix or confuse Divine Science w T ith former 
beliefs and opinions. As Good, or God, is no respecter of 
persons, say to yourself : I can do all that has been done. 
"He that believeth shall do the things that I do," is a 
promise for all. Yet, of myself, apart from the one All, 
I can do nothing. It is God in me who is doing the works. 
The law to be demonstrated is the Christ method, and is 
mathematically exact. When wholeness is fully compre- 
hended it is realized ; and it is known that there is no 
disease in Truth, Ease, peace and eternal rest are in the 
truth of at-one-ment. One is the number of unity, 
and not two. / 



PART II 
INTRODUCTORY 



INTRODUCTORY 



TO BE, is in the present. To act, is in the present. 
The result of action is in the present. Action and 
the result of action have no power over Being, nor do they 
attempt to have. They are the power of Being expressing 
itself and expressed. 

The true idea of a future and continuous Life is to be 
found in the eternity of the Life we now are. As the Life 
or Being that now is is eternal, we are now what we shall 
ever be. 

As eternity is a continuation of the present — a never- 
ending now, and Being is eternal, to Be at all is to Be wdiat 
is real and eternal now. Postponement of the use and full 
enjoyment of our divine inheritance is prophecy, but the 
fulfillment of all prophecy is in the present. Any and all 
action is in the present. It is not possible to begin the 
accomplishment of any work either in the past or future, 
hence xow is the beginning ; so, "When ye pray, believe 
that ye receive, and ye shall have." There can be no result 
in the present without acting in the present, and no present 
action without Being. Xow is the time to Be, to Do, and 
to have the result or fruit of our doing. "Now is the ac- 
cepted time." It is to be understood that Divine Science 



28 DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 

treatment when given to any one, no matter what the so- 
called disease is named, is to heal now. "To-day is the 
day of salvation.'' To-day is ever-present salvation. 

This book is designed to correct the false race belief of 
separation of God and man, and the various theories of 
dualism arising therefrom. It is intended to eliminate the 
claim that man is ungodly, but can become godly through 
a process of doing, and to establish him in the conscious- 
ness that he is now altogether godly. False beliefs do not 
constitute man, nor have they anything to do with his 
existence ; to realize his divinity and eternity it is necessary 
to refuse to entertain the false race beliefs about man. 

DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION OF TREATMENT 

God, the Good, being the Infinite Whole, the one All, 
it is God who is whole, and of whose wholeness is ex- 
pressed in man. To ask in the name of God is to declare 
wholeness for ourselves ; to acknowledge that it is already 
ours is true asking ; God neither expresses nor knows any 
reality but wholeness, so to ask and ask not amiss is to 
believe ourselves whole, without spot or blemish. This is 
keeping the covenant of at-one-ment. 

In the thoughts and words of God alone is to be enjoyed 
the full realization of wholeness. It is therefore intended 
that these treatments be used with the understanding that 
they are God's spoken word, the Truth of all living. We 
can only realize at-one-ment by being as God is, and 
thinking the same thoughts and speaking the same words. 
Do not hesitate to make statements for vourself , that are 



DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 29 

true of God — the infinite Whole. In Truth there is noth- 
ing higher than wholeness and nothing lower. Realization 
of the truth of what you claim will be according to the 
faith you have in Truth. To believe that you are heirs of 
God, and to realize that you have received and are in pos- 
session of your inheritance, is to believe that you are every 
whit whole, and that every member and atom of your body 
is alive unto God now and ever will be. 

To apply the following treatments, students should first 
commit to memory the Statement of Being and make it 
fully their own, then begin with treatment Number one 
and devote one day to its study and application. Read it 
over and over many times. The next day study and apply 
treatment Number two in the same manner; continue the 
same each succeeding day, with the treatment next in 
order, unto the end. Then begin over and rehearse in the 
same order. The Statement of Being should be read every 
day in connection with the treatment of the day. This 
practice will unfold to you the truth of Being and bring 
forth health, mental peace and successful effort. These 
lessons and treatments correct the erroneous belief of

30 DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 

Each statement of Truth, spoken with knowledge and 
Faith, believing that it is true, is sufficient in itself to heal. 
These treatments are all inclusive ; they declare the Truth 
of God and man. As Truth heals, they are designed to 
heal every mental and bodily "disease."" They are great 
freeing statements. 

Before giving a treatment make the following state- 
ments : God is Infinite ; and fully realize that it means, 
Good is All ; and because the Good one is All, you are and 
are what is ; then know that all true claims are true of God, 
and what you claim that is true of God, you are, the same 
is the Son. 

Go forth each day to perform your work or duties 
clothed with the affirmations of Truth contained in the 
treatments, believing that you are whole, and are not sub- 
ject to conditions, influences or environments; you will 
find that by thus doing the will of God, the affirmations 
will prove to be a shield against all adverse beliefs and 
conditions ; for, against Truth there is no law. "Thv 
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy 
law is Truth." "There is no power but of God."

STATEMENT OF BEING 

The Basis for Teaching and Demonstrating Truth Ap- 
plicable in All Treatment 

I. 

THERE can be but one All. This all in all is God 
and God manifest. 

One is the number of unity. 

Unity is forever the state or nature of One. 

God being Infinite, there is no finite. He is all of Being, 
creative action and creation. "I and my Father are one." 

God is Spirit, all of Life, Love, Truth, Substance, Soul 
and Intelligence, all of Knowledge, all of Power, all of 
Presence. Like expresses like ; hence, man is Spirit, life, 
love, truth, substance, soul, intelligence, knowledge, power 
and presence, the exact image and likeness of God, co- 
eternal and co-equal with him. 

Nothing can be manifested that is not, before it is mani- 
fested. As God alone is, it is God who is manifested in 
an ever-present creation. 



32 BASIC STATEMENTS 

That which is begotten of Spirit is spirit. I am before 
I am manifested. Man is potential in God, and is ex- 
pressor, co-worker and capable of doing His will, demon- 
strating the nature of Spirit. 

Man is Being and existence, created in the image of 
God's eternity and wholeness. There is one Spirit and one 
body. Individually, we are inseparable. 

AT-ONE-MENT IS HARMONY 

As God is the one all, all there is, is goodness. 

"There is none good but One." The Truth for eternity 
is, "I am God and there is none else, * * * none like 
me;" hence, oneness is wholeness. The supposition that 
there is separation from God, that there is something that 
is not God, is false. It falls short of Truth, and in the 
scriptures is denominated sin, serpent, the adversary. The 
only seeming separation as adverse of God is false belief. 

A good source cannot produce an evil result, nor can 
the method or act, by which the result is produced, be less 
perfect than the source ; neither can the result be less per- 
fect than the source and method by which it is produced. 

AT-ONE-MENT IS SALVATION 

"Of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil thou 
shalt not eat of it." The primary and spiritual meaning of 
eating, in the allegory, is identifying self with. To par- 
take of anything means to assimilate and be one with that 
of which we partake. To believe that there is something 
that is separate from and is not God is to believe that there 



HEALTH TREATMENT 33 

is something that is separate from and is not Good ; to be- 
lieve that there is anything that is separate from and that 
is not God, or Good, is to believe that there is an evil power 
capable of producing evil results. This, and all such beliefs 
are sensed as conditions which are looked upon as evil, the 
adverse alike of God and man. A supposition that creation 
is separated from God — something that is not — is no part 
of God or man, who though supposed to be twain are one 
Spirit. A false conception is no conception at all, and 
never comes to anything; out of nothing, nothing comes. 

To ignore the Truth is to suspect that there is something 
that is not. Ignorance, therefore, is merely unsuspectingly 
taking things for what they are not. 

"agree with thine adversary quickly " 

A deviation from the Principle of at-one-ment — the 
unity of God and creation — is the only adversary of Truth. 

That which is is Truth. It is impossible for anything 
to Be, and not be Truth. It is a knowledge of Truth only 
that can agree with the adversary, by knowing that false- 
hood is false, and that a false supposition is nothing. 
It is a test of true consciousness to see the nothingness of 
nothing. 

Non-resistance is the way of Life. "I am the Way." 
What I am is the way. I know that there is nothing the 
adverse of Truth. To agree that falsehood is false, is to 
agree with the adversary and let it be nothing. In Truth 
there is nothing to resist. To agree with the adversary 
quickly, is to agree that it is what it claims to be — the 
adverse of Truth. A false claim does not represent the 



34 BASIC STATEMENTS 

Truth of anything that is. There is in Truth no sin or 
separation from God. There is no condemnation. "Neither 
do I condemn thee," is a test of knowledge and not of 
prejudice.

OF WHOLENESS 

"God is the health of his people." 

God is the One All ; there is nothing to resist. God is 
Love ; there is no one to fear, none to find fault with. 

All that is is Truth. All that I am is Truth. I am one 
perfect whole, harmonious throughout. I am the Spirit 
of health and harmony. All that I manifest is complete 
within me. My conception is immaculate. My faith 
(substance) reveals my wholeness. I enjoy life, freedom 
and happiness. My body is the perfect expression of the 
perfection I am. It has no Source or origin but perfect 
Being. Every member is a member of righteousness and 
power. Every atom it comprises is Life. Every atom is 
eternal. All that is, is Spirit. "That which is born of 
Spirit is spirit/' Now is my body spirit. In me all things 
are reconciled. There is no adverse belief, condition or 
disease, either in Me, my creative action or my creation. 
I am eternal Life, never failing health. I know that so- 
called sin, sickness and death, are not real. All erroneous 
beliefs are forgiven or given up. I know all that live are 
free from error. The gift of God is Eternal Life. Beside 
Truth there is no law.

(C I HAVE OVERCOME " 

To overcome is to come over from the theory of becom- 
ing to Being, and know the Truth of the correct relation 
of Cause and effect existing between the Creator and crea- 
tion. Being Source and Cause, is being that which in- 
cludes all creation ; this is dominion. It is true that I am 
hid with Christ in God ; my possibility is the possibility of 
God idea; my existence is this possibility or idea made 
manifest; for beside God there is none other. It is God 
who says : "Be ye holy, because I am holy/' As God's 
knowledge is omniscience there can be no knowledge that 
it is not. 

Knowledge is free from suffering, failure, and dissatis- 
faction. For this reason, from the standpoint of at-one- 
ment alone can the false sense of them be erased. It is 
God, the Infinite One, who says, that to know self is to 
know all there is to know. We are neither fruitless nor 
deceived in claiming God-knowledge, absolute conscious- 
ness of truth ; we are blessed of the Lord. True knowledge ' 
is certain perception of the Truth of at-one-ment, the unity

THE WAY OF LIFE 



"Whosoever hath not, 
from him shall be taken even

To claim to possess the 
opposite of what you are 
seeking, prevents the realiza-

Whosoever believes that he

The Broad Way. 

Error never claims life or 
freedom for the present; it 
always hopes to become;

truth, nor bear witness of 
what the I am is.

There is perfect circulation, and you are equalized from 
head to foot, free in every part. 

The second head of this river of God is breathing. God 
now breathes the breath of life into you. Your breath has 
its rise and flow in God. There is no obstruction, no con- 
gestion. Your breath is the breath of God, of life, of love, 
of intelligence and power. It is the breath of Christ, un- 
obstructed, strong, pure, healthy and free. You breathe 
freely, fully, deeply. Nothing binds nor limits your breath- 
ing ; its power is permanent and unlimited. 

The third head of this river of God, whose rise and 
flow is God, is your perfect digestion and Assimilation. 
God blends perfectly in you, and God-perfection is ex- 
pressed perfectly in you now. You are One with God 
and One w 7 ith your food, and are receiving, all that you do 
receive, perfectly, and are giving off or forth perfectly of 
what you have and are. There is a fourth head to this 
river of God, which is perfect generation. These all 
water every organ and atom of your body with the 
water of life. There is now direct generation from God 
in you ; you are quickened anew from head to foot, and 
are perfect, whole, complete, healthy, full of the activ- 
ity of Omnipotent power. You are a living son, radiat- 
ing intelligence and health. These words of Truth are 
strength to your body, health to every part, sight to 
your eyes, and hearing to your ears.

FOR PERFECT DIGESTION 

"All Thine are mine and All mine are Thine." 

The Glorious liberty of my body is that of a child of 
God; which is heir of God and joint heir with Christ. 

Digestion is Unity of Substance. Its source is God. 
The food I digest is one with Me. There is no conflict 
between Me and my food. There is perfect agreement and 
assimilation. Whether eating or drinking I do all to the 
glory of God. "I am the bread of Life." "I am the living 
bread which came down from heaven." The bread that I 
will give for the life of the world is my flesh. By eating 
my flesh and drinking my blood I identify them with my- 
self, and express therein the life that I am. 

By thus eating I dw T ell in Christ, and Christ dwells in 
me. This being perfect oneness, I am the Christ ; so the 
law is now fulfilled that I live as the Father lives. 

Explanation — Every one who applies this treatment sees 
that he lives as I live, and that we are entirely free from 
trying to digest food spiritually or literally supposed to be 
acquired from a source other than what we are, or what the 
I am is.

BRIEF SUMMARY 

Being* is God, is self-existing, the Fullness of the All. 
Being is not subject to power, life or law. It is all power, 
life and law. It is not subject to, dominated nor environed 
by anything. The All in All knows nothing beside, 
nothing to dominate nor environ. 

Being is Inseparable; this proves man to be self- 
existing, eternal, forever and ever conscious of be- 
ing in and of the inseparable whole. The insepar- 
ableness of the One Whole proves man to be higher 
than he has, or can ever be placed by human mis- 
belief or mortal misconception. God-idea is with God, 
and is God, without which nothing is expressed that is 
expressed. It is the whole of man; it is "Spirit," which 
is both Soul and Body. It is life, substance, intelligence 
and power. 

Divine Science reveals a higher, broader and deeper 
nature to man, and to all things, than any previous teach- 
ing except that of Christ. It is absolute freedom from the 
belief of the world's apostacy from God either by a fall 
a supposition of becoming, a carnal or mortal mind, or a 
lower self. 

There are no elements in matter, so called, of disease, 
lack or death, and no qualities but what are indestructible, 
hence eternal. This compels us to see that matter in its 
essential nature is free from disease, lack or death, and is 
therefore the direct expression of Spirit. This is the true 
standard consciousness which knows no corruption ; in 
L.crfU.

which "death is swallowed up of life"; in which the Uni- 
verse is Spirit substance — One body : "we are all members 
of the body of Christ." 

For sin, sickness, and death to be real or to be any 
part of man — the unit of Spirit, soul and body — they 
would have to be qualities of God or elements of in- 
destructible matter; in either case they would be self- 
existing and eternal. 

To see man as Spirit, at one with God, it is essential to 
see the nothingness of all false beliefs, the nothingness of 
nothing. To do this one should analyze them perfectly, 
as it were, and as he sees that no place can be found for 
them in the self-existing nature of Being, nor in the in- 
destructible nature of the elements of matter, know that 
they must fade away into their native nothingness. 
There is no inharmony in expression ; inharmony is hu- 
man misbelief, the want of a knowledge of the perfect 
expression that is. Misbelief is out of harmony with 
knowledge. Truth makes free. It proves the One 
Whole to be free. How shall we dispose of matter in 
Divine Science? By seeing the truth of it. How shall 
we find freedom for our bodies ? By knowing the truth 
of them. The Truth of anything is the freedom of it. 
If there were no truth in body, there would be no 
freedom of body. But instead there are Truth bodies 
and bodies free, and we have found them, so let it be.
